Oh god the song's over and there's three minutes left. Mash up coda?

Reading those lyrics and then reading the lyrics from the new Manics album makes me laugh a lot and be sad.

What's the new Manics stuff like?

Hidden tracks must be banned.

 

[liamcool]

Actually, I didn't mind it.

That album wasn't so much interminably bad as just. Mediocre.

 

[Axver]

2 star effort rather than 1, if you ask me.

What's the new Manics stuff like?

A bit experimental? Only one electric guitar on the entire album, mostly acoustic, lots of varying instruments, an instrumental about a Welsh castle feat. theremin, a few guest vocalists.

I think it's really good, miles better than Postcards and just about on the level of Journal For Plague Lovers. There's really no rock song on the whole thing, the 'biggest' song being 30 Year War.

If you liked the second half of This Is My Truth there is a high likelihood you will enjoy this.

You'll kill me but I'm really only interested in that album for "If You Tolerate This..."

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I remember Tolerate was the only song I really bothered with from that album for a fair while, but through further listens I uncovered so much I have no choice but to have it as my second favourite of theirs. It's not an immediate record apart from the singles.

This would have to be one of my favourites from Rewind the Film.

Tolerate is still the only song from that album to leave much of a mark on me. I enjoy the album when it's on but afterwards I don't recall any other songs particularly strongly.

As for the new tune, not bad - but probably going to need more than just that to rope me in.

Sometimes you see so much that you can't even have the gall to be surprised anymore, this is one of those times.

We could have had a DT listening party?

I forgot the new one was out. I'm intrigued. Obviously, I've enjoyed a few of their last albums, so I'm not jumping off a bridge yet...

...though your posts aren't making me too anxious to get on this.

Nice sensationalist article title there, though.

Given you didn't hate the last albums like I did, I think you will enjoy this one. I definitely think you'll back me up on The Bigger Picture not being a bad track.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ah, I love a good listening party! I'd have joined you but my papa warned me about taking Dream Theater.

We should actually do a proper listening party sometime soon.

 

[The Sad Punk]

That would be brilliant. Sounds like I gotta check out the Chvrches album too, no?

 

[Axver]

It's awesome. It's one of the top three of the year for me so far.

 

[cobl04]

Laneway come at me

 

[Axver]

Chvrches, Savages, and Warpaint hell yes! On balance I think I was more excited for the last two line-ups but this one's still pretty sweet. Really looking forward to it.

Tony Martin is a goddamn genius. If Wil Anderson is my favourite comedian, Justin Hamilton the best comedian (in terms of the actual art of comedy, the skills) then Tony Martin has to be the funniest comedian (though I'm loathe to call him that as he's obviously much more). He could seriously take 10 names out of the phone book and make a hilarious show.

Hahaha that's amazing.

Thank you for the inspiration.

I saw a recording of a Sammy J. & Randy show on Go or Gem or something a few weeks ago, and loved it... makes me miss Wednesday Night Fever. Did that get cancelled?

 

[cobl04]

Randy has been doing solo shows and getting rave reviews. (that's not an answer to your question, I don't know about that)

 

[Slopsy]

Nah WNF didn't get cancelled, it just ended. Not sure if it's been renewed for another season or not.

 

[Alisaura]

I should go see him next time he's touring.

I hope it does come back, although they'll need a new batch of impersonators.

 

[cobl04]

Randy? Fringe Festival | The Last Temptation of Randy | Melbourne Fringe

Definitely gonna try catch that. Gotta see Luke McGregor, Dave Callan and The Experiment too.

Sammy J also does this, which I think is a really cool idea Fringe Festival | Sammy J presents THE 50 YEAR SHOW | Melbourne Fringe
